Benefits of technology
The present invention includes two adjustable support devices that can be placed on a vertical wall surface to support an object, such as a cabinet. The devices can then be moved outward and positioned under the object to provide additional support. This invention allows for easy installation of objects on vertical surfaces without additional help.
Problems solved by technology
This product has adjustments for correcting cabinet for level but not for plumb, which is detrimental for cabinet installation.
This design is also bulky, utilizing too much space for tool storage and transportation, and also adds to the amount of tools needed by the installer rather than eliminating tools already needed for cabinet installation.

Embodiment Construction
[0016]Referring to FIG. 1, it can be seen that two of the support devices 17 are used to install a cabinet 15 or other structure on a vertical wall 16. Each support device includes a generally rectangular elongated body 18 having a front surface 33, a sear surface 34 (FIG. 3B), and side surfaces 31 and 32. Each support device includes a hollow lower portion that telescopically receives a foot member 21 that is adjustable in length by virtue of a plurality of holes 23 that align with an aperture 11 provided in the lower portion of body 18. A suitable pin or detent mechanism may be used to lock the leg member in place. Other well-known adjustable length mechanisms may also be used such as a screw and thread arrangement. The lower portion of foot 21 that engages the floor 25 may be provided with a curved anti skid element 22.
[0017]Each support device may also include a handle portion 19 and built in levels 20 and 28 in vertical and horizontal orientations when the support device is ext...

Abstract
A method for installing objects such as cabinets on a vertical surface such as a wall includes the use of a novel support device having an adjustable leg and an upper portion including two vertically spaced support surfaces. Two of the support devices are first placed at a selected height at an angle to the wall for initially supporting the object on a first support surface. The support devices are then sequentially moved to extend between a front portion of the object and the floor so that the object rests on the second support surface thus freeing both hands of the installer.
Description
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention disclosed and claimed in this application is directed to a support mechanism for supporting objects such as cabinets during installation of the objects on a vertical surface. Two of the supports can be utilized in such a manner so as to allow installation of the object by a single installer.[0003]2. Description of Related Art[0004]Prior art devices for installation of Objects such as cabinets on walls include an adjustable upright support having an adjustable carrier for supporting the cabinet. Such a device is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 6,612,533. This device is designed to hold cabinets in place before installation only on a level surface with level walls. This product has adjustments for correcting cabinet for level but not for plumb, which is detrimental for cabinet installation. This design is also bulky, utilizing too much space for tool storage and transportation, and also adds to the amount of tools needed...
